Chappelle-Nadal, Condra, Hoskins, Hubbard, missouri, Sinquefield
I have a few last observations on this primary day about money as it applies to Sinquefield, Hubbard, Hoskins, and Tony Condra (challenging Maria Chappelle-Nadal in H.D. 72.)
Let’s start with Condra (pictured at left) and work our way back. The St. Louis American has a damning several paragraphs about him. In fact, they’ve put up a website entirely in his honor, with a video outlining his frequent abuse of two wives and his threats on their lives. The video also shows his support for Hubbard and Koster.
Actually, though, when I looked at his contribution report filed eight days before the primary, the big money didn’t come from them or Sinquefield, at least not directly. It came through the legislative committee in the 80th district–$1,800 and $1,250. That’s Ted Hoskins’ district, where I live. I don’t know who his primary opponent, Brenda Boyd, is, but she’s getting my vote.
My vote will be just a tiny token of my lack of appreciation for a representative who takes money from Sinquefield and, like his friend Hubbard, hangs with the Republicans.
And speaking of Hubbard, he just got more negative mailers sent out about him by the Black Women’s PAC. They filed limited activity in their July report but then BINGO, they hit the jackpot.
Funding the anti-Hubbard attacks are: Missouri National Education Association ($20,000), Missouri School Administrators PAC ($5,000), AFSCME ($2,500), Electrical Workers Vol Pol Educ & Leg Fund ($2,000).
That’s almost $30,000. Hope it didn’t come too late to stop Rodney.
